Behind The Scenes of "The Weekend"

All I can say is WOW. I'm more than excited that I was apart of this movie! I had soooo much fun and met sooooo many people! But I will say that shooting a movie is very exhausting. I swear we shot each scene 5 times each or more. Plus it was hot and we were drinking alcohol which I'm sure did not help! lololol. Overall it was a good experience for me and I can't wait to do more, I never thought I would head in that direction but if another opportunity comes up I'm definitely gonna take it! Here are a few photos, enjoy:)

BET Awards

Every year I complain about how bad the BET awards are, but this year was serious! Not only did they suck, but the sound was even fucked up! Now we all know Alicia Keys can sing and for whatever reason it sounded horrible. Alicia Keys did look good as shit though! The best performances were Alicia Keys, T-pain, Young Jezzy, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne, everyone else completely sucked!!!!!! The tributes they did and the life achievement award was good, But I'm seriously disappointed with those awards! Then they were extra long for no reason, they even gave out awards to people that seriously shouldn't have gotten them. For Best Male Hip Hop Artist they gave it to Kayne over Lil Wayne and I was mad as shit because the song he won it for sucks ass!!!!!! Lil Wayne only got The People's Choice Award which is some complete bullshit!!!! That nigga is a lyrical genius!!!!!

Chris Brown and Ciara were gettin it!!! They made me wanna take some one down...OMG!!! I loved his performance! But, I'm mad Rhinanna was not dancing with him, they showed her watching from the crowd looking blown. lmfao

But hold on lets talk about some of the wardrobe because I was disappointed with that as well! Tpain looked a fucking mess with that outfits he had on! But it was funny when he changed into the T-Wayne shirt. I couldn't stop laughing!!! By the way I took these pics with my sidekick so they look kinda bad.

Jennifer Hudson's dress was entirely too tight!!! not to mention, it was wack as shit! Lil Kim looked like she got her face done right before the show, then she had these silver looking pants on lmfao! Keisha Cole and her family looked ridiculous and her performance sucked!!!!!!! I don't think I've ever been soooo mad at the BET awards. I think I'm gonna just stop watching them!!! I said it before and I'll say it again the BET awards get worst and worst ever year!

Talking About KOBE Gets You Know Where!

Shaquille O'Neal will lose his special deputy’s badge in Maricopa County Kobe Bryant.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the Phoenix Suns center’s use of a racially derogatory word and other foul language left him no choice. Arpaio made Shaq a special deputy in 2006 and promoted him to colonel of his largely ceremonial posse later that year.
“I want his two badges back,” Arpaio told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they’re fired. I don’t condone this type of racial conduct.”
Shaq was seen in a video posted on the celebrity news and gossip Web site TMZ.com rapping that “Kobe couldn't do without me.” O’Neal skewers the Lakers’ star, with whom he won three straight NBA titles from 2000-2002 while with Los Angeles, for not being able to win a championship without him.
“I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever,” O’Neal told ESPN.com Monday. A call to the Suns on Tuesday seeking comment from O’Neal was referred to his public relations firm, which didn’t immediately respond.
Arpaio, who describes himself as “America’s Toughest Sheriff” and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, said he didn’t expect his actions would teach Shaq a lesson. But he hoped he learns that as a role model who wants to someday be a full-time sheriff, he needs to know his words matter.
“Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I don’t think that either conduct should be out there publicly, even if media wasn’t there,” Arpaio said.
O’Neal previously served as a reserve officer with the Miami Beach Police Department while playing for the Miami Heat. He also volunteered with the Tempe Police Department after being traded to the Suns in February.

I bet he will think twice the next time he decides to talk shit!!!! He's sooooo wack. lmfao

GO KOBE!!!!!!!!!!

MVP Kobe Bryant has a shot at another big prize after falling short of the NBA championship, and he’ll have plenty of help along the way. LeBron James is there. Dwyane Wade, too.
They will lead a U.S. Olympic basketball team that was announced Monday and hopes to capture the gold medal in Beijing in August after a third-place showing in Athens four years ago. The team already has “re-established itself” on an international level, USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo said during a news conference. The next step is to bring home the gold, and the U.S. will send a deep, versatile team to China. Carmelo Anthony and Jason Kidd were also among the 12 players chosen from a pool of 33. They were joined by the Detroit Pistons' Tayshaun Prince, along with Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Michael Redd and Deron Williams.

Kobe we may not have won the Championship but here is a chance to redeem yourself and show these mofo's why you are the MVP!!!!! GO KOBE!!!!!!! Tell Shaq's big dumb ass to talk shit now!

My First Movie!!!

So I'm really excited right now, because the producer of the movie "The Weekend" just asked me to be in it!!!!! Its the first urban comedy to be shot in DC!!!!! Here is a little about the movie.

This urban comedy classic is set in the nation's Capital, delivers everything except a dull moment. On one of the biggest weekends in the city, Twan finds himself between a rock and a hard place when he promises to spend quality time with his girlfriend Niesha. The tables are turned when Niesha regrets holding Twan to his promise and Twasn's friend Billy Da Kid helps cover up Twans mess with gut wrenching laughs!

The role I will be playing is a character named Iceey and she is baddd:) The scene I'm in will be at a club during a Pajama Jam party where I will be trying to persuade Twan to leave with me verses his girlfriend Niesha. (which shouldn't be hard for me to do. lmfao) Its not a big role but I'm excited to be in the movie, because instead of me submitting myself, I was personally invited:) Your girl is moving up in the world!!!!

All girls who want to be part of the pajama jam scene let me know because they still need fillers!

Llyod ft. Lil Wayne-Girls Around The World

Weekend Recap:)

My weekend was wonderful! I started my weekend with a girls night out at Zanizabar and mannnnn was it fun! I don't think there has ever really been a time where we went out and didn't enjoy ourselves. I take that back there was a time, lmfao...but I won't discuss it. Neway, Zanzibar was packed and I had a blast! We partied hard that night, as a matter a fact my legs still hurt. lololololol and you already know I took tons of pictures!!!! Saturday I ran errands all day, like seriously I was up at 8...mind you I didn't get in the house until 4. So once I got finished doing all that I ate and slept for the rest of the day. i had plans to go out but I was sooooo tired I ended up staying in. I woke up at 10 like damn I really did sleep all day. I did watch Superbad for the first time and I must say if you have not seen that movie you need to go get it. It was the funniest movie ever, I was laughing so hard I was crying!!!!! Today I'm just chilling in the house, I might go out to DC in a little while to go so my homegurl but I dunno. I'm feeling really lazy. I think I'm just gonna prepare myself for work tomorrow. Well that's all folkz I'm going back to doing nothing:)

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a couple of videos I found hilarious at work. I don't have much to do today so I've been surfing the net all day! It sucks but hey, some body's gotta do it. lolol Watch and Enjoy!

Stripper Falls!!!!!

hahahahahaahaha! what an idiot!!!! First off she definitely is not phat( pretty hot and tempting) enough to be a stripper. Secondly, maybe she needs to practice her moves before going in front of an audience, and lastly how old is this girl? She looks young as hell! where are her parents?????

Teacher Destroy's A Student's Laptop!!!!!

Personally, there is no way any teacher would have did this to me. I would have jumped across that table so fast he wouldn't have known what to do with himself, and since when do they allow teachers to smash laptops up anyway? I wonder if he is still a teacher and if so, where does he teach cuz I don't want to be a student at that school!!!!!

Teacher Fights Student!!!!

OK, someone needs to beat both their ass's. They need to smack the teacher because you don't put your hands on a student ever, but obviously this child needs to be smacked for acting up in school. I don't know who started this fight but i found it amusing!

Have You Ever Had Thoughts About Destorying Your Office?

Sometimes I really wanna just blow up my office because I hate working! So I'm posting this video because it reminds me of the things that go threw my head on occasions at work, plus its funny!

Soulja Boy Responds to Ice T

First of Ice T is ignorant for the statement he made, only because Soulja Boy is a youngin. But I do believe Soulja Boy and others have killed hip hop. All these rappers keep coming out with this trash they call music but I can't be but so mad because its what the people want to hear. Below is Soulja Boy's response and you can hear Ice T's comments at the beginning.

Woman found dead in her own home after 42years!

This is the craziest story I think I've ever hear in my life and I had to share it with you all because I don't understand. Please read below.

THE remains of a woman have been found sitting in front of her TV - 42 years after she was reported missing. Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, had apparently made herself a cup of tea before sitting in her favourite armchair in front of her black and white television.
Croatian police said she was last seen by neighbours in 1966, when she would have been 42 years old. Her neighbours thought she had moved out of her flat in the capital, Zagreb.
But she was found by police and bailiffs who had broken in to help the authorities establish who owned the flat.
A police spokesman said: "So far, we have no idea how it is possible that someone officially reported missing so long ago was not found before in the same apartment she used to live in.
"When officers went there, they said it was like stepping into a place frozen in time.
"The cup she had been drinking tea from was still on a table next to the chair she had been sitting in and the house was full of things no one had seen for decades. Nothing had been disturbed for decades, even though there were more than a few cobwebs in there."
Neighbours were shocked by the discovery.Jadranka Markic was nine when Hedviga "vanished".
She said: "I still remember her. She was a quiet woman who kept herself to herself but was polite. We all thought that she had just moved out and gone to live with relatives."

Now, how in the hell did this happen??? I just don't get it. Where is her family and no one realized her mail was piling up? this story is seriously bizarre to me. Her bills obviously weren't being paid so how is it that no one thought to go inside and check it out??

Midget Mac Is Back!!!!!

I'm sure most of you remember Midget Mac from I Love New York, we'll he's back! Along with Chance, his brother, Mr. Boston and a couple of other guys from the show(I Love NY), Hoopz and some of the other girls from Flava of Love. I can't wait to watch this new show.

Tila Tequila

I'm sure most of you have seen her on either myspace or mtv. Well if you don't know anything about her it goes a little something like this. She started out on myspace with nude pictures then upgraded to a rapper. lmfao. The girl has got over a billion friends on her page. MTV noticed all the attention she was getting so they gave her a show. Now she is all over the place! Her latest interview was with King Magazine, and here is some of her interview.

Do you ever find being bisexual to be totally exhausting?
Not really. People have a misconception that just because you’re bisexual, you’re turned on by everyone everywhere you go. That’s totally not true. I think it’s more fun being bisexual, because sometimes you want to get away from guys. And then you go back to girls and you get something totally new and different. Then, after a while, that gets boring, so you go back. It’s always nice to have so many options.

What about the people who say you’re not really bisexual—that you’re hetero and just pretending for the show? Care to set the record, uh, straight?
They can suck my dick.

Talk about sexual ambiguity!If you’re faking bisexuality, then you’d be one of those Girls Gone Wild girls.
I’m not one of those fake ones. I have real emotions for people, whether they’re male or female. So whoever said that shows me that they’re really ignorant, and it makes me cringe. It’s like saying, “Hey, you’re not really Vietnamese, you’re just trying to be.” How do you answer that?

How did you get your name? I’m assuming you don’t come from a long line of Vietnamese Tequilas.
Well, my name is Tila, but I got “Tequila” when I was 13. I was hanging with a bunch of friends, we drank tequila for the first time and I puked all over the place. I was really embarrassed, and the next day at school everybody had heard about it. They were winking and laughing and started calling me Tila Tequila. The name kind of stuck with me ever since. It’s got a catchy ring to it, you know?

Good thing you were drinking tequila. Tila Jägermeister or Tila Peach Schnapps doesn’t have quite the same ring.
Yeah, exactly. Or Tila Buttery Nipple.

Wait, that one actually works. You’ve also called yourself “the baddest bitch on the block.” Have you always been so naughty?
When I was younger, I was foolish and would rob houses and stupid things like that, but I’ve paid my dues. They actually sent me away to a correctional facility for bad kids. They put us on those small, special school buses, the short ones. They put you on a point list: You start off in level one, and it’s like prison. You can’t eat the good food, you have to sit isolated, by yourself. And as you do well in class and get along with other students, then you move to level two.

Were there any girl-on-girl prison brawls?
There was a Mexican gang and a black gang, and I was the only Asian. But I got along with everyone there, except for two people who threatened to blow my head off. But good thing I had my own people to back me up! Thank God I got out of there, because then I went back to my regular school and everyone was so scared of me.

But you’re only 4-foot-11! How could anyone be scared of someone so cute and tiny?
I think that’s where all the rage comes from. You always feel like you gotta watch your back and protect yourself. It’s the “little man syndrome.” You can be big, but when you see someone else who’s smaller than you and they’re insanely psychotic, you’re like, “Holy shit, this bitch is crazy! She’s gonna fucking kill me.”

Damn, you’re scary! But you still have a lot of friends—over 3 million, in fact, on MySpace. You must get an ass load of free-ringtone offers.
[Laughs] Yeah, I definitely get a lot of free ringtones to download. It’s really cool to be the biggest girl on the biggest social network out there today.

How can a guy get a lady’s attention on MySpace? I got a message the other day that said, “I’d like to tap you’re ass,” which is both grammatically incorrect and gross. Would that work on you?
Hell no! I don’t even go out with someone who talks to me like that in real life. If you want to get someone’s attention, have some class. Don’t be like every other sheep out there. Think of something creative, new, interesting and intelligent, or be witty at least. Make me laugh. Don’t be a caveman.

You dance on a pole in the video for your song “Stripper Friends.” How’d you perfect the pole dance?
When I was 18 and still in high school, I was a stripper for a while, because I was trying to save up money to move to Hollywood to become this bisexual Hollywood starlet that I am today. And now I have a pole at my house, because it’s a good workout, and I hate working out at the gym. You practice with your girlfriends, pump up the music and have some fun.

When you were stripping, did you ever have any awkward run-ins with high-school teachers?
I invited my history teacher, who was also the football coach, and I had a big crush on him. I told him that he needed to come visit me and that I wouldn’t tell anybody. He was very tempted, I’m sure, but he never did show up.

LMFAO. This girl is obviously crazy and I know its weird but I love her. Her attitude is so down to earth, and when asked a question she answers with a real answer. She has no shame in her game and I'm not gonna lie she is pretty freakin hot!

I fell out Laughing!!!!

Plies

For whatever reason I'm in love with Plies and I'm not gonna lie I was not really feeling him before. But now that I have listened to his album I love this guy. He has this gangsta swagg that turns me on...lmfao. He's obviously not cute and he is skinny. Hell, maybe its the money but the fact of the matter is every time I hear Bust It Baby I wanna see this dude. hahahaha.

I love Plies:)

Lil Wayne Sets New Record!

Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III becomes the first album in more than three years to sell a million copies in a week. The opus sold 1,006,000 copies to debut at #1 on Nielsen/SoundScan's list of the best-selling albums in the U.S. That's the biggest sales week since another rap album, 50 Cent's The Massacre, bowed at #1 in March 2005 with sales of 1,141,000.

I told yall before he was one of the greatest rappers and I'm telling yall again Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers! I love this guy!!!!

Arista

Every day of my life I hear the same statement which is then followed by the same question. "Your name is beautiful! Where did it come from?"

Well...for those of you who must know, my name came from the front of an album cover. I don't know which artist it was, but I do know it was my mom's favorite artist and that artist was on Arista records. Yes its a record company and no my parents are not associated with them in any shape or form. They liked Arista so that's what they named me. lmfao

My Tattoos-Inspired by Raw Dawg Buffalo

I have 6 tattoos. My love for tattoos is like my lovve for KOBE. I don't know what it is but I'm addicted. I want more. I just don't know what yet. Oh yeah before I forget, I don't have a picture of the daisies on my back. so one of my tattoos is missing...lol.


This is my favorite tattoo out of all 6. Its the word "Love", located on my right foot. I got this tattoo for my love Greg.


Located on my stomach this tattoo seems to be every one's favorite. Idk why, but it is. Its an "A" for Arista. Obviously. lmfao


My Eagle! Located on my right side, this tattoo stands for freedom. I'm a free spirit and I do what the fuck I wanna do. I lovve this tattoo and its my second favorite.


Its the Libra baby. lololol. Located on my right wrist this tattoo means Libra in Arabic. and before you say, are you sure that's what it means...i had an Egyptian guy read it to me. So yes, my tatt means exactly what I tell you!


This is my dragon. Located on my left leg. Its purpose was a best friend tatt, but unfortunately me and her are not friends anymore. I still love the tattoo and I may get something added to it!

..::Kobe Bryant #24::..

I'm sure you all know how much I love Kobe. I practically write a blog about him every day, but I have not yet shown his work. Here are a few of his highlights. Enjoy:)

FASHION JUNKIE

Those who know me, know I'm a total shopaholic and that I love dresses! Fashion is one of my passions; it always has been. I remember growing up I wanted to go to school for fashion design but I never pursued my dreams. Even though, I didn't go to school for it I still have a love for fashion and I'm always up to date with the newest trends. Now I'm gonna share some dresses that I love.

Kelly looks absolutely amazing in this dress. I love the color; its so vibrant and its fun and flirty. This dress could be worn to an award ceremony or maybe even prom.

Fergie's Dress is hot. Its so sheek and sexy. Its not tooo tight and just drapes on her body, making the dress look very class and elegant.


Eva looks so vibrant in this dress; it makes her look as if she is glowing. I love the color and I love the style. This is another dress that could be worn to prom, homecoming, an award ceremony or some sort of banquet.

Kim Kardashian is know for her sexy dresses. I like this dress because it doesn't show too much. A typical dress like this would show too much cleavage but this one shows just enough, so that it could be worn to several different occasions. Its sexy with a hint of class. Plus the color is very pretty!

I don't typical like dresses like this but the design of this dress is amazing. The details are crazy and the color is on point. Plus she wore the hell out of this dress.

I had to add the girls next door to this blogg simply because I love them and they always have beautiful dresses on.

Hedi's dress has to be my ultimate favorite. Its so sexy and her body makes it look even better. I personally could probably never wear this dress but she wore it well. The color is nice and I'm sure you could wear it to several different events. I love it! 2 thumbs up!

I like this dress because its different and most people wouldn't dare to wear it. But I think its Hot and it could definitely be worn on several different occasions.

I love the design of this dress and the colors. It reminds me of an Egyptian princess. You probably would only wear it once but as long as you wear it right I guarantee you would have everyone wanting one.

VERY DISSAPPOINTED!

I'm very disappointed with the Lakers right now. Their loss last night was some bullshit. How the fuck do you lose a game when you are up 24 points in the 4th quarter. This shit makes absolutely NO sense. I'm so mad I'm at a loss of words. I just wanna smack the shit out of each player on the team because they seriously gave away a game!

~New Chapter~

I guess you can say I have started a new chapter in my life. So I have a couple of things that I'd like to share. First off I want to Congratulate my sister on getting accepting into The University of Baltimore where she will be studying forensics(they have the best forensics program in the US). I'm proud of you lil sis you will be doing big things in your life!
I'm excited to say that I'm moving up in the model world. I'm not only hosting parties but I have people literally throwing photo shoots at me for their companies. I have several projects coming up including a photo shoot this Saturday that I can't wait to do! and its crazy because when I first started I had to submit myself for everything; now they hit me up asking me for availability and prices! (and it don't get no better than that.) Yesssss a nigga is getting paid! Fuckk working for free! I even have all the local DMV artist trying to get me to be in their videos. Which for a small fee might work.
But neways off that shit. I can officially say I'm done with the past and I'm not looking back. I'm not gonna lie certain events had me fucked up and even made me cry, and I used to wish certain shit didn't happen but now that I look back I'm like damn was it really worth it? I know I have done some fucked up things, got rid of some friends, and changed for the better but that's just apart of growing up. If it were meant to be it would be; and not only that I'm happy I have mad new friends, expanded my horizons, and gotten closer to old friends. I'm also happy cuz I'm drama free and doing me. Yeah, I still party but not as much(unless I'm getting paid or its all inclusive). I still smoke(that's never gonna change) and yep I still drink but you know what...that's me and when I'm ready to stop I will. But until then I'm gonna live my life like everyday is my last because you never know when you are gonna stop breathing.
I know I have told you all in previous bloggs that this is the happiest I've been in a long time and it truly is. Never have I felt so loved, wanted and appreciated. I couldn't be any happier. I have my family and true friends on my side. What else could a girl possibly want?

Welterweight champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. retires

Although Floyd Mayweather Jr. has retired at least twice before, boxing's pound-for-pound king says he's really taking off his crown this time. Mayweather abruptly retired Friday at the peak of his athletic skill and earning power, releasing a six-paragraph letter in which the unbeaten five-division champion said he no longer feels the passion that propelled him to the top of the family business.
Mayweather, a 31-year-old former Olympic bronze medalist, is calling it quits at the close of a remarkable 18-month stretch in which he beat Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, made more than $50 million in the ring and became a bankable celebrity outside it.
"This decision was not an easy one for me to make, as boxing is all I have done since I was a child," said Mayweather, the son and nephew of three former fighters who all became top trainers. "However, these past few years have been extremely difficult for me to find the desire and joy to continue in the sport."
The WBC welterweight champ (39-0, 25 KOs) hasn't fought since knocking out Hatton last December, but was widely expected to take on De La Hoya in September in a rematch of their May 2007 bout, the richest fight in boxing history. Instead, Mayweather's retirement clears De La Hoya's schedule and opens a vacancy at the top of boxing just when it's undergoing a revival built partly on Mayweather's brilliance and showmanship.
Mayweather also made less-convincing retirement announcements after each of his last three bouts, but his letter somberly described his reasons to "permanently retire from boxing."
"I loved competing and winning and also wanted to continue my career for the fans, knowing they were there for me and enjoyed watching me fight," Mayweather said. "However, after many sleepless nights and intense soul-searching, I realized I could no longer base my decision on anything but my own personal happiness, which I no longer could find."
Though Mayweather cashed two huge paychecks in 2007, he has lately seemed much more interested in fame than fighting. In the last few years, he evolved from the endearingly cocky "Pretty Boy" to the wealth-obsessed "Money May" who was estranged from his father, De La Hoya trainer Floyd Sr., and uninterested in all but the most lucrative bouts.
In the past year alone, Mayweather has appeared on "Dancing With the Stars," worked on his record label, served as the honorary starter at the Indianapolis 500 and entered the wrestling ring for a choreographed tussle with the 440-pound "Big Show" at WrestleMania in Orlando, winning what's currently his final fight with a set of brass knuckles.
"Floyd was a very talented fighter, no question about it, but he got to a particular point where it was just for the money," said Bob Arum, Mayweather's longtime promoter with Top Rank before the boxer began promoting his own career. "Which is all right, it's a professional sport, but there's nothing wrong with his decision. It's a rational decision."
Though fans and promoters have clamored for Mayweather to take on unbeaten welterweight Miguel Cotto or another top competitor in perhaps boxing's deepest division, Mayweather had repeatedly dismissed the idea. Instead, he was in talks for another fight with De La Hoya, whose own career-ending plans will be altered.
"There comes a time when money doesn't matter," Mayweather said. "I just can't do it any more. I have found a peace with my decision that I have not felt in a long time."
De La Hoya had hoped to fight Mayweather and perhaps Cotto this year before turning full-time to his lucrative career in charge of Golden Boy Promotions.
"I am surprised a bit about the timing of it, but if he decides he wants to retire, that is his right," Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told The Associated Press. "We did not announce that fight (between Mayweather and De La Hoya), so I can't really say that something fell apart. Floyd was certainly the name that we were focusing on for a September fight, so now we will go down the list and find, I'm sure, other names that will ensure a megafight."
Schaefer confirmed De La Hoya still intends to fight Sept. 20. Several welterweights will jockey for the chance to meet him in a guaranteed big payday, while every big name in boxing's middle weight classes from Hatton to Manny Pacquiao also could get in the mix.
Mayweather rose swiftly through the sport after his solid effort in the Atlanta Games. With peerless hand speed, superb athleticism and a grinning swagger, Mayweather won his first title at 130 pounds in October 1998, upsetting Genaro Hernandez.
He grabbed a lightweight crown in 2002 with back-to-back wins over Jose Luis Castillo, and he beat Arturo Gatti in June 2005 for the light welterweight title. Mayweather then won the IBF welterweight belt by beating Zab Judah in April 2006, and he added a light middleweight crown against De La Hoya last year.
"I am sorry I have to leave the sport at this time, knowing I still have my God-given abilities to succeed and future multi-million dollar paydays ahead, including the one right around the corner," Mayweather said.
Arum, who fostered Mayweather's development into a dominant champion before their acrimonious split, knows many fans still won't believe Mayweather is truly finished.
"You never know, but I will say the language was different this time," Arum said. "This time the language sounds like he might be done for good. ... I can hardly blame him (for retiring). We should commend him for what he's done. He's retiring at the height. Is there anything greater than that?"

The World's Most Expensive Luxury Real Estate

Take a look around the world at what $1.5 million buys in 20 of the world's most expensive housing markets.

1. London Price: $6,191 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: Small studio apartmentAnnual price change: 29%*
A housing boom began in Central London in September, 2005, and continued through 2007, as wealthy buyers flowed in from around the world. The annualized growth for prime real estate is slowing this year and is expected to weaken further. But the super-luxury segment remains incredibly strong. Sales for £10 million-plus homes in Belgravia, Chelsea, Knightsbridge, and Mayfair increased by 190% in the six months ending January, 2008, compared with the same period a year earlier.
* The annual price change compares the fourth quarter of 2007 with the fourth quarter of 2006.

2. Monaco Price: $5,888 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: Studio apartmentAnnual price change: 25%
It's not just the casinos, beautiful people, and staggering views of the Mediterranean that have made Monaco a popular home for the world's wealthiest buyers. The real appeal is that its residents don't pay income tax.

3. St. Jean Cap Ferrat (France)Price: $5,853 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: Small studio apartmentAnnual price change: 39%
St. Jean Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera continues to be popular with European aristocracy and the super-rich, such as billionaire Paul Allen, who enjoy the gorgeous beaches and warm weather.

4.

Courchevel (France)Price: $4,710 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: Studio apartmentAnnual price change: 5%
Like to ski and shop? This resort town high in the Savoie region of the French Alps is favored by the Russian elite and is known for expensive hostelries such as the Hotel Le Lana, fashion boutiques, and wild parties.

5. Hong Kong Price: $4,507 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: Studio apartmentAnnual price change: 21%
Hong Kong's real estate market has been driven by China's strong economic growth. Despite limited space, real estate demand on the island has started to slow, and prices are softening as the effects of the U.S. credit squeeze spread.

6. Manhattan Price: $4,320 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: Studio apartmentAnnual price change: 25%
At the high end, Manhattan continues to boom even as the credit crunch deepens. In fact, in the first quarter of 2008 average prices were up 19% and the price per square foot was up 16%, according to the Corcoran Group. There are several reasons: First, the city has been shielded from the subprime crisis, largely because its co-ops and condos are well out of reach of most buyers with poor credit and shaky finances. Second, it remains a popular destination for movers and shakers in the financial, entertainment, and media world. Last, because of the weak dollar it is more affordable than ever for wealthy foreigners looking for a Manhattan pied-à-terre.

7. Cortina d'Ampezzo (Italy)Price: $3,028 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: 1 bedroomAnnual price change: 22%
The Northern Italian resort town is a popular second-home destination for ski buffs and Milan's business elite. Prices for prime European vacation homes have benefited from the growth of the world's population of high-net-worth individuals.

8. Portofino (Italy)Price: $2,692 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: 1 bedroomAnnual price change: 14%
Although there's no beach, the harbor of this resort village on the Italian Riviera is packed with yachts owned by the world's rich and famous. The village is about 20 miles from the Genoa airport.

9. Singapore Price: $2,423 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: 1 bedroomAnnual price change: 31%
The city's high-end real estate has benefited from an influx of foreign buyers and has been particularly strong close to the Orchard Road shopping area and on the island resort of Sentosa.

10. Tokyo Price: $2,334 per sq. ft.What you get for $1.5 million: 1 bedroomAnnual price change: N/A
Despite traditionally astronomical prices and cramped living conditions for all but the very wealthiest, Tokyo's market is beginning to slow as a result of the credit crunch and a heavy supply of new condos that have recently come on the market.

$5,000 Phone-Are you Freakin Serious???

Good news, Dior lovers: More pictures, and details, of the upcoming Dior mobile phone have emerged. We knew the fashion house was introducing a luxury handset after images of the phone appeared online, but the pictures didn't really reveal anything about specifications, pricing and color.
Lucky for us, an article on the Wall Street Journal gives us a few more details regarding the designer phone, which will be initially available in Russia and China. The reason for this, according to Dior Chief Executive Sidney Toledano, is there's a bigger demand for luxury goods there, and consumers living in these countries really pay attention to color and design when buying a phone.
But don't be disheartened if you really want one, because this phone will work in most parts of the world, except Japan and Korea, where it isn't compatible with local wireless networks. Specifications are still a bit sketchy, but we do know the features on the Dior phone include a touchscreen, a camera, and special ringtones.
What really makes the Dior handset stand out though is the accompanying clip-on mini-phone that comes with the model. This unusual attachment called "My Dior" is about the size of a USB key and connects to the main handset via Bluetooth to make it easy for the user to answer any incoming calls.
As you can see from the picture above, the phone will be available in pink, red, and white when it goes on sale later this year for $5,000.

A Few Buddhist Quotes I Wanted To Share...

Remember always that you are just a visitor here, a traveler passing through. your stay is but short and the moment of your departure unknown.None can live without toil and a craft that provides your needs is a blessing indeed. But if you toil without rest, fatigue and weariness will overtake you, and you will denied the joy that comes from labour's end.Speak quietly and kindly and be not forward with either opinions or advice. If you talk much, this will make you deaf to what others say, and you should know that there are few so wise that they cannot learn from others.Be near when help is needed, but far when praise and thanks are being offered.Take small account of might, wealth and fame, for they soon pass and are forgotten. Instead, nurture love within you and and strive to be a friend to all. Truly, compassion is a balm for many wounds.Treasure silence when you find it, and while being mindful of your duties, set time aside, to be alone with yourself. Cast off pretense and self-deception and see yourself as you really are.Despite all appearances, no one is really evil. They are led astray by ignorance. If you ponder this truth always you will offer more light, rather then blame and condemnation.You, no less than all beings have Buddha Nature within. Your essential Mind is pure. Therefore, when defilement's cause you to stumble and fall, let not remorse nor dark foreboding cast you down. Be of good cheer and with this understanding, summon strength and walk on.Faith is like a lamp and wisdom makes the flame burn bright. Carry this lamp always and in good time the darkness will yield and you will abide in the Light.

Dhammavadaka

******

Do not pursue the past.Do not lose yourself in the future.The past no longer is.The future has not yet come.Looking deeply at life as it is.In the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom.We must be diligent today.To wait until tomorrow is too late.Death comes unexpectedly.How can we bargain with it?The sage calls a person who knows how to dwell in mindfulness night and day,'one who knows the better way to live alone.

'Bhaddekaratta Sutta

******

The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change. So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding and love.

Jennifer Edwards

******
View all problems as challenges.Look upon negativity's that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow.Don't run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence. You have a problem? Great. More grist for the mill. Rejoice, dive in, and investigate.

Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"

******

Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes, it obstructs your vision.

Hsi-Tang

******

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery.We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger and attachment, fear and suspicion,while love and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.

Dalai Lama
